And so back to the boat

Andrew left early to go on a walk organised by the local LDWA branch and we were on the road well before 10am. It took just over an hour and a half to arrive at Packet Boat Marina where we unloaded the car onto the boat.

We needed bread for lunch so, after a cup of coffee (it had to be instant as we had failed to bring any real coffee with us - now another item on our shopping list) we drove the short distance to Morrisons in Yiewsley.

It was again a bright sunny day with a clear sky and pleasantly warm although the temperature soon dropped as the afternoon came towards its end.

Mike set about fitting the new charging points which he had bought since last on the boat. This involved two trips to the small chandlery by the marina - fortunately they had both items needed and the second visit was just in time as they were about to close. They will not be open again until next Saturday!

One of the points now works properly but the other is only partially successful. It will have to be investigated another time!

Just missed you again as we were planning to be on Chance today and overnight as we are flying out of Heathrow tomorrow, but sadly the train booked was not running due to the landslip! So we are coming up by car tomorrow instead. Hope to meet you at some point in the marina. Happy New Year James and Doug

Was it you that we passed at the marina gate? We were not expecting you to be there so it was only afterwards that I wondered.
